Allen allowed four goals on 24 shots in the Blues loss to the Canadiens on October 19th. Allen missed a start last weekend due to an illness but will make his third start of the season on Saturday evening. He has allowed four goals in each of his starts while posting a .849 SV%, but a matchup with the Wild keeps him in the spot-start conversation on Saturday.
Markstrom allowed three goals on 24 shots in the Canucks win in Los Angeles on Wednesday. Markstrom has won five of his last six starts (5-0-1) while posting a 2.60 GAA and .919 SV%. He struggled to 1-3-0 vs. the Ducks last year but the Canucks are firing on all cylinders offensively right now, so Markstrom has a good chance at chalking up his sixth win.

Markstrom surrendered five goals on 29 shots in the Canucks loss to the Capitals last Friday. Thatcher Demko started Monday, so it's not surprising to see them coming back to Markstrom in Los Angeles. He is 2-2-0 with a 2.28 GAA and .927 SV% in four road starts this season and faces a Kings team that has lost three in a row while being outscored 15-to-4.

Dumoulin is a game-time decision but being activated is a clear sign that he will be back in the Penguins lineup on Tuesday night. Dumoulin plays big minutes (21:19 ATOI) but has just three assists and 12 shots on goal in eight games this season.
The Red Wings coaching staff is reportedly unhappy with how Cholowski has been playing lately, so he'll come out of the lineup on Tuesday. Joe Hicketts was recalled from Grand Rapids (AHL) and will replace Cholowski against the Oilers.
Dumoulin has missed the last four games with a lower-body issue but was a full participant in Monday’s practice. He is officially listed as a game-time decision for tomorrow’s game and would likely replace Jusso Riikola if he plays.
Hischier has missed the last two games with an upper-body ailment but was a full participant in Thursday's practice and should play Friday. Hischier was on the first line when he got hurt but it looks like he will return on the third line with Nikita Gusev and Pavel Zacha on his wings.
Tatar left Wednesday's practice after taking a puck off of the foot but it seems likely that he will play on Thursday. Tatar has recorded three goals with four assists (seven points) in nine games this season.
Bernier allowed two goals on 37 shots in the Red Wings loss in Edmonton last Friday. Bernier opened the season with two wins but has lost two in a row since then. Overall, he has a 3.02 GAA and .905 SV% but has played very well at times and makes for an interesting spot-start option in Ottawa for owners who are desperate for goaltending help.
Tatar took a shot off of his foot and was forced to leave towards the end of the session. Head coach Claude Julien said he had no update but Tatar was being evaluated, so expect an update in the next 24 hours.
Cholowski missed last Friday's game in Edmonton but will replace Madison Bowey in the lineup on Tuesday. Cholowski has three assists and 10 shots in seven games this season.
Markstrom stopped 38 of 40 shots in the Canucks 3-2 win in New York on Sunday. It was a nice return to the crease for Markstrom, who missed two games earlier in the week due to a personal matter. Markstrom is 1-2-0 with a 2.37 GAA and .923 SV% on the road this year. He is a must-start against a Red Wings team that the Canucks handled in Vancouver last Tuesday.

Dumoulin was a late scratch from Saturday's game vs. Vegas and will miss at least Tuesday's game in Florida and Wednesday's game in TampaBay. With Dumoulin sidelined, John Marino is expected to play on the top-pair with Kris Letang and Juuso Riikola figures to see some reps on PP2.
Dumoulin was originally slated to play against the Golden Knights but will be replaced by Jack Johnson for reasons unknown. Dumoulin must have tweaked something in warmups and the Penguins' injury woes continue.
